"I always advise my students to look closely and learn how to see colour. By looking and seeing, you will begin to think more about colour and relate to colour in your own way. The main aim of this book is to convey my personal view on the practical use of colour in art, inspire you and ultimately, demystify the subject." ––Julie Collins, Introduction.
